IX. Graduate Programs

Physics

The Departments of Physics at the Universities of Guelph and Waterloo offer a joint program leading to MSc and PhD degrees in the following fields:

• Astrophysics and Gravitation

• Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

• Biophysics

• Chemical Physics

• Condensed Matter and Material Physics

• Industrial and Applied Physics

• Subatomic Physics

• Quantum Computing

The Guelph-Waterloo Physics Institute consists of members from both university departments and is administered by a joint co-ordinating committee. Students interested in graduate work in physics at either university should consult the application requirements and the on-line application procedures available from the web-site http://gwp.on.ca. Students are ultimately registered at the university at which their advisor is located. A student comes under the general regulations of the university at which he or she is registered, and the degree is granted by that university.
